[_] Efficient and accurate assessment of design performance in regard to spatial requirements by the owner (Spatial Programming)
Description:
A process in which a spatial program is utilized to efficiently and accurately assess design performance in regard to spatial requirements. The developed BIM model allow project team to analyze space and understand the complexity of space standards and regulations, which saves time and provides the team with opportunity of doing more value adding activities.
Programming can be also defined as design discovery and definition. It is considered to be a very important part of architectural practice, since one of the most valuable things is to develop design program. Critical decisions are made in this phase of design and programming brings most value to the project when needs and options are discussed with the client and the best approach is analyzed. Lots of information is very preliminary at this point, but also a lot of visual data are offered.
Some of the BIM applications aid with blocking and stacking of programming relationships and represent tremendous labor saving device to rule out bad design ideas early on. These tools analyze space requirements, automate the programming process based on little input like number of employees, and build a program based on rules of thumb. In this planning phase, a lot of design analyzes are done, hundreds of schemes are generated, then filtered out based on appropriateness, context and performance and presented to the client. Presenting programming options and visualization often help clients to get funding for their projects and communicate their vision.
Potential Benefits:
[_] Preliminary model is started in programming and it turns into schematic design, design development and finally construction documents
